Other Comments: Unless you really is a hardcore fan of nanoha and like all the characters there, this would not be an anime for people who are neutral to nanoha series. The major flaw of this anime is too many characters and their personalities are not developed in depth. The main character is no longer nanoha, it is subaru and it is more like magical girl lyrical subaru. However, I do watch finished the anime as not many animes have such good magic effect and there is even a magic square  for summoning. There is also two characters who look cute, who are erio and caro. without these two, I won't think about finishing this anime. Here is an alternative opening made by someone.

However, one day, Nanoha is attacked by an unknown girl dressed in red, and using a stronger and different kind of magic system.

Later, it was realized that the people are guardians and their aim is to fill up the pages of Book of Darkness using other magicians' linker cores. Now, nanoha nd Fate has to stop them before they fill up the pages as the Book of Darkness is only meant for destruction.

Review:

Quality: I would give 5/5 for quality and it was better than before.

Music: The opening song and the ending song are sang by the respective singers in the previous series. The ending song, Spiritual Garden is the cutest song for the entire nanoha series. There are also other insert songs which helps to bring out the atmosphere. Nanoha is one of the few anime which can bring out the atmosphere using background music

Other comment: In nanoha, magic is never the same again. In fact, it evolve with the introduction of Magic triangle, Belka system, catridge system and compressed magic, giving a better magic effect and fighting skills. If you watch the anime, you may see some remsemblance with Magic Knight Rayearth. Even the antagonists in this anime look cool. Of course, ther are more action in this anime compared to previous season. Definitely in the must watch list.

These are the openings created by people which are similar to the original opening. You will be amazed how similar they are. You should watch this. The animes are The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya and Lucky Star. Maybe you can open the original opening to compare. Sorry, cannnot get comparision video. If there is one, I will put it or you can tell me under comment section.

Genre: magic, action, shoujo, fantasy
Recommendation: Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha A's, Cardcaptor Sakura

On behalf of the ferret, yuno, she have to find the Jewel seeds. However, in the process, another girl, Fate, and her familiar, Ark, are also trying to collect the Jewel seeds and they will stop at nothing to get them.

Review:
Quality: The quality is good, which is expected from J.C staff, the company which produce the anime. There is also very good magic effect, such as the magic circle, something like cardcaptor sakura. I would give 5/5.

Music: The opening song, sang by Nana mizuki, bring out the atmosphere of the anime, magical and full of action. The ending song is pleasant to hear too. There are other song in the anime sang by Nana Mizuki and what I can say is they really bring out the essence of the anime.

Other Comment: Gone are the days where magic are performed using old staffs and magicians wearing cloaks and magical hats. Magical girl lyrical nanoha has proven that magicians can be very modern too and introduce the concept of fusion of magic and technology. This is not just another shoujo anime adapted from sailor moon. This anime is full of action and as I mentioned earlier, the magical effect of the anime and the background music really made this anime an enjoyable and exciting one. If you enjoy watching cardcaptor sakura, you can never miss this anime out. This is a link to my previous post of Videos of nanoha, which are created by MAD.

Videos of Fate/Stay night

These are some of the videos of Fate/Stay night. It took me some time to look through some of the videos though and these are some of the better ones.

1) The Mythology



2) Wail of Fate



3) Fate version of Nursery Rhyme.
---Comment: Don't ask me why. I keep seeing this in many animes made into AMVs. I still think Nanoha's version is the best.

Asura Cryin' Season 2

Title: Asura Cryin Season 2
Anime link: http://www.watchanimeon.com/anime/asura-cryin%E2%80%99-season-2/
Genre: Action, Mecha, Fantasy
Recommendation: Asura Cryin (Season 1)

Summary: In Season 2, an evil villain wants to create a third world so as to revive his lover, but at the expense of Tomoharu's world, which is the second world. In the process of saving the second world, it was known that there is a first world and it is disappearing. Tomoharu will have to be a hero to save the two world.

Review:
Quality: I would give a 4/5 for quality.

Music: I only do not like the front part of the music. The middle and back part is okay. There are many people who say that this opening is good though.
Opening song: Alternative- Download MP3

Other comments: This is where the essence and action of Asura Cryin come in. Those people who have survived watching the first season would see that their effort has not gone to waste. I spent one night watching the later part of the second season. There is better plot and there is an element of surprise in the later part of the series. You would be glued to the screen and want to watch the next episode as soon as possible. You will also be seeing that Tomoharu made a contract with the devil, which is been discussed for very long in Season 1.

Asura cryin

Title: Asura Cryin
Anime Link: http://www.watchanimeon.com/anime/asura-cryin/
Genre: Action, Mecha, Fantasy
Recommendation: Asura Cryin Season 2

Summary: A semi-serious school action story revolving around the main protagonist, Tomoharu Natsume. He is haunted by his childhood friend, Misao Minakami, who became a ghost ever since he barely survived an airplane accident three years earlier. Tomoharu Natsume takes the opportunity to live on his own when he enters high school in his new place of residence, Meiou-tei, and starts enjoying a carefree high school life. His life changed when a beautiful girl named Kurosaki Shuri appears with a trunk which she claimed Tomoharu's brother, Naotaka Natsume, asked her to deliver to him. The presence of the trunk causes the appearance of Takatsuki Kanade, a girl dressed like a shrine maiden who is after the trunk. Tomoharu is in possession of the trunk, which reveals secrets about the world they live in. (quoted from wikipedia).

Review:

Quality: I would give a 4/5 for the quality.

Music: The music really depend from individuals. For me, I don't really like the opening song.

Opening song: Spiral- Download MP3

Other comment: Basically, this anime is to introduce the characters, to develop their personalities and get you to like them. There is also a little action at the end of the anime. Maybe because of this, many people thought that the anime is bad. However, it is actually preparing for the season 2, which there is a storyline and more action, so that they do not have to explain that much. If you are patient and willing to wait for a real action anime, you should watch this.

Chrono Crusade

Title: Chrono Crusade
Anime Link: http://www.watchanimeon.com/anime/chrno-crusade/
Genre: Action, Romance, Supernatural
Recommendation: Saikano

Summary: In the world of Chrono Crusade, a fictional organization known as the Order of Magdalene exists to fight the demonic threats that appear with increasing regularity across America. Both Rosette and Chrono are revealed during the course of the story to be driven by a shadowy past, centered around a search for Rosette's lost brother, Joshua. Joshua is shown to have been taken from her by the sinner, Aion, a devil who shares a dark and bloody history with Chrono, and seeks nothing less than to overthrow Heaven and Earth. (quoted from wikipedia)

Review:
Quality: I would give 4/5 for quality.

Music: I was attracted to watch this anime because of the opening song. It is pleasant to hear. The songs sang by Azmaria in this anime is legendary and really sound like an angel singing.
Opening song: Pleasure line - Download MP3
Other songs: Azmaria apostle song, Azmaria song version II

Other Comment: In this anime, there are a few plot here and there that I do not understand. However, this should not stop you from watching the show as the main focus is the romance between the nun, Rosette and the devil, Chrono. Yes, you never see wrongly, a love story between a nun and a devil. There is also the cute Azmaria and her songs that you can look forward to. You can consider listening to one of the song she sings before watching. There are a few parts where it is very touching and this is one of the few anime that I almost cried. You may be surprised at some area such as a nun shooting down monster using a gun. If you are looking for a touching romance, this is an anime to watch.

Otogi jushi Akazukin

Title: Otogi Jushi Akazukin
Anime Link: http://www.watchanimeon.com/anime/otogi-jushi-akazukin/
Genre: fantasy, supernatural, magic
Recommendation: Akazukin Cha Cha

Summary: One day, Sōta Suzukaze, who is the key of Earth, is rescued by Akazukin, who is from Fandavale. Together with Shirayukihime and Ibarahime, they went to Fandavale to rescue the king of Fandavale and to find Sōta's mum. However, there are evil villain such as Hansel and Gretel to stop them.

Review:
Quality: I would give a 5/5 for the quality.

Music: For the first opening song, it is not that good and it took me some time to get used to it. However, the second opening song is good and is cute. If you like the ending songs of Magical girl lyrical nanoha, you would like the opening songs as they are sang by the same singer. There is also other songs in the anime such as in episode 18, such as the three shoujo characters singing to let a pumpkin monster eat the musical notes.
Opening song 1: Dōwa Meikyū- Download MP3
Opening song 2: Princess Rose- Download MP3
Other songs: Songs in episode 18- Akazukin, Shirayukihime, Ibarahime

Other Comment: A very special anime to me as it make use of the fairytale stories that we heard of and use the characters such as Hansel and Gretel, Cinderalla, Snow white and yes, Sleeping beauty is a guard. It entangled with all the different fairytale stories in this anime. I watch this after a major exam of mine and I took 3 days to finish all the 39 episodes. Yes, that is how good it is. Aithought he anime is long, there is no filler in the anime and all the episodes lead to a storyplot. The chararters are also very cute. If you like an anime that has a good storyplot, this is the thing for you.

To aru kagaku no railgun

Title: To aru kagaku no railgun
Anime link: http://www.watchanimeon.com/anime/to-aru-kagaku-no-railgun/

Genre: comedy, science fiction, action

Recommendations: To Aru Majutsu no Index

Summary: The story centered around a girl called Mikoto Misaka, who is ranked third among the seven people who attained Level 5 in Academy City and is known as the "Railgun". Together with her friends, Kuroko Shirai, Uiharu and Saten, they investigate the strange cases that occur in Academy city and reveal the truth behind the cases.

Review:

Quality: Normally, an anime with a bad quality would just turn me off, unless the plot is really exciting. For this anime, the anime quality is good. I would give 4/5.

Music: For the first opening song, it is very techo, just like To Aru Majutsu no Index. However, the second opening song is less inspiring but nonetheless still great. For the ending songs, they are pleasant to listen.

Opening 2: Level 5 judgelight -download MP3

Other comment: This is just a spinoff from To Aru Majutsu no Index and the main character is Misaka instead of Touma. This is not a continuation of To Aru Majutsu no Index. At first, I did not want to watch this as I prefer Touma than Misaka and I am pretty neutral toward Misaka. However, as I watch the anime, I actually like Misaka a lot and there are things about Misaka that is not shown in To Aru Majutsu no Index, such as she like cute things and like Gekota, a frog figure. This is definitely better then the half- baked plot of To Aru Majutsu no Index,as it is funnier. There are scene where Saten flips Uiharu's skirt and how Kuroko tries to seduce Misaka. There are also some actions such as the Skillout case. This is an anime that you cannot miss.
